The new functions I'd be using are scandir(3) and alphasort(3). Both
are BSD-derived. I know they are also present on Solaris 8+ and HP-UX
11i v2, as well as any modern glibc, as that's what I have direct
access to. It's likely that they're available on any SysV-based system
that ships a BSD-compatibility layer as well. That's quite possibly
everything.

I'll make a first pass that basically replaces
playlist_append_directory() entirely, as I'm guessing that's probably
the easiest way to handle two different cases at compile-time.
